Book Description
This volume examines issues of low self-esteem among pupils at secondary modern schools, academic versus practical curricula, assessment and challenges for teachers - issues which are still pertinent today. The articles which make up this book, originally published in the journal The Schoolmaster were originally published at the time of The Education Act 1944 which changed the education system for secondary schools in England and Wales. This Act made secondary education free for all pupils and introduced the tripartite system of education, of which secondary modern schools were one part.

Book Description
This is the story of secondary modern schools based on facts - not prejudice. It is an alternative to the popular narrative that these schools were a scar on the country’s educational history.' The Secondary Mod' is a journey – perhaps more a voyage of discovery. Along the way you will discover that the accepted stories about the tripartite system and comprehensive schools are a simplistic distortion of the truth. Worse still, the mistakes the education establishment made in the past still determine how children are educated today. Researched using the National Archives, this book explores the evolution of secondary education in England and Wales from the end of WWI to the early 2000s. It’s a tale of bureaucratic reports, well-meaning ideas badly implemented and the harsh realities of life after WWII. What we learn enables us to answer the question ‘were secondary moderns a monstrous mistake or much maligned?’ You may be surprised.

Book Description
Originally published in 1986. This book's focus is on English secondary schooling in the late 19th and 20th Centuries, during which the definition of a general ‘secondary’ education was itself negotiated and consolidated before the development of secondary modern and then comprehensive schools. In each chapter, a specialist contributor considers the changing ideology, shape and status of one of the seven traditional academic subjects, namely Classics, Modern Languages, English, History, Geography, Mathematics and Science. These seven school subjects have dominated the academic school curriculum since the nineteenth century and continue to exert a powerful influence upon the contemporary school curriculum today despite the emergence of various rivals and the growing status of ‘practical' subjects.
